that UI looks like shit. does it have a settings menu yet?

fuck .net

why yes it does.

It also, lacks many features that mpv has.

nice nice. hopefully they can lower the font size throughout the whole ui, including the control bar. then it will look good. and then an official windows binary with updater.

And also feature parity of regular mpv

mpv.net unironically has more features than regular mpv.

i just tried mpv.net and im impressed. the performance is excellent. ui just needs a few small improvements and a few better default options and this thing will be great.

mpv.net lovers are this retard to copy some random guy config and paste it to the general, jesus christ

kys idiot

It's actually quite the opposite. mpv does not even have everything integration for media search like dotnet has.

YIKES!

Needless features perhaps. Read the release notes and you'll see how far it's behind on core functionality.

how about you actually use the player instead of repeating nonsense.

>mpv the same media you used for 30 years with a new icon

>some random guy
You mean the manual?
>ewa_lanczossharp
>A slightly sharpened version of ewa_lanczos, preconfigured to use an ideal radius and parameter. If your hardware can run it, this is probably what you should use by default.

Again, read the release notes.
>drag & drop support for subtitles was added
>command line support for stdin and URLs was added
These basic functions were only added 11 days ago with the last update. What else might be missing?

>how about you actually use the player
Despite what shills constantly try to tell me, I don't have any need for mpv.net. I have mpv set up the way I want it to and the lack of context menus and other distracting graphical elements is one of the reasons why I chose to use mpv.

>drag & drop support for subtitles was added
Before this was added, you could already load external subs through the context menu or by pressing alt + s.

>Despite what shills constantly try to tell me, I don't have any need for mpv.net
If you have used the player then you would know that the old config can be imported and the use of GUI settings/context menu is completely optional.

>If you have used the player then you would know that the old config can be imported and the use of GUI settings/context menu is completely optional.
Not him, but I just tried it. Downloaded the portable version, and copied my mpv.conf, and shaders and scripts folder over. It gave an import error, opened on the wrong screen, had the wrong geometry, and had borders. You're full of shit.

And by just using it once it deleted my default input config, and added some random configs? Fuck's sake, how is this portable?

>Before this was added, you could already load external subs through the context menu or by pressing alt + s.
And? I'm not claiming there was no external subtitle support. It was an example of a basic feature, which was missing from mpv.net until recently, showing how much mpv.net still has to catch up.
>If you have used the player then you would know that the old config can be imported and the use of GUI settings/context menu is completely optional.
Your not the first to tell me. But why should I use it, if I don't care for the beginner-friendly features? What does it offer me over mpv?

Maybe you did something wrong with the config.

mpv.net should detect where your config folder is and when it cannot find a config folder the player should show a dialog asking you where it should create the config folder.

>by default.

For luma scaling, not chroma scaling you retard ringing lover.

now that mpv.net shills have demolish the official general you better expect threads keep dying faster, btw count me out

Well it fucking didn't, and just created an mpv.conf in my roaming folder, even though there's no conf there. Why would the portable version go there anyway?

how do i make it to where there is no window onscreen, and mpv is just showing info in the terminal?

Literally the same config for mpv, it works there. mpv.net can't just import the old config. 100% sure it's loading the correct config now even with the retarded portable version loading from my roaming folder, but still giving the same errors.

mpv shill good mpv.net shill bad

report the issue to the dev on github then.

>if I don't care for the beginner-friendly features? What does it offer me over mpv?
Fair enough. Just keep using vanilla mpv then.

What, that shit's broken? Fuck that, that's not helpful. And I can't be bothered to make a proper bug report.
It's missing basic features.

>It's missing basic features
mpv.net has all the basic and advanced features it needs to play media.

>I can't be bothered to make a proper bug report.
complaining about something and not doing anything about it is not helpful.

Based and mpv.net pilled

>mpv.net has all the basic and advanced features it needs to play media.
Sure, so does fucking VLC.

>complaining about something and not doing anything about it is not helpful.
I'm doing something though, I'm telling you to fuck off with your piece of shit software that just introduces bugs and removes features. I'm telling people to just use mpv, since it's better.

They don't actually mention a difference for that, and since cscale is just scale if not defined, they're saying you should use ewa_lanczosssharp for cscale.
To be honest, I just missed the c and thought it said scale.

fu cj

go back, but thanks for the bump.
>Made in mostly C#
This is the bloat

c# is the best language to develop Windows programs. Bloat would be using electron or another meme framework to make the front-end.

Read the manual

>people at avsforums are compiling excel sheets of hdr movie parameters for madshi to optimize tone mapping

they out obsessed foozoor!

Indeed, why is cscale=ewa_lanczossharp suddenly recommended?

Because one user recommended it.
archive.rebeccablacktech.com/g/thread/71355059/#71361669

Because it is not autistic.

>why is cscale=ewa_lanczossharp suddenly recommended?
Basically, because that retard have no idea of what he's talking about and constantly denying the ringing arguments like a kid.
You want to see for yourself how much ringing creates that shit? Check Krigbilateral comparison, it's a fucking aliased mess.

what would cause cpu usage to go high when watching a 60fps video, but if i show stats by pressing i, cpu usage goes down (and no frame drops either way)?

>github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/5411
JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB

But he merged 2 PRs today. That's a record.

>muh test images
Chroma scaling is pretty unimportant to begin with. Sure, KrigBilateral is the best, but differences between in-built chroma scalers are minuscule. If you can't run KrigBilateral you might as well stick with something fast like lanczos or don't clutter your config by sticking with gpu-hq's default spline36.

Use haasnsoft!

>haasnblur

I notice there's a delay when opening videos. Is it possible to force it to load instantly?

You have three choices.
1. Use less intensive settings.
2. Buy better hardware so everything loads faster.
3. Stop having autism and deal with a fucking 5 ms delay.

I notice the delay only happens on my network drive. However, it doesn't happen with images at all. Maybe it has nothing to do with mpv.

>3. Stop having autism and deal with a fucking 5 ms delay.
It's a 15 second delay

>my network drive
There's your problem. Go fix your network.

Turn Aero back on.

True, he should've know that this is an mpv.net shill thread based on the OP filename (or by just recognizing the pic by now).

Only after you post a comparison, which shows a perceivable improvement over other scalers.

Bumping with the best image to start an mpv thread.

For immediate window:

#force-window=immediate

Try using a shader cache to load faster.

Sorry for the hash sign. I copied it from my config, and since I don't use the option, well...

Not anymore...

mpvnet sucks

Error diffusion when?

?

When madshi starts using mpv.. .net

Already did, a year ago.

Link?

A lot has changed in a year, no?

Not in the built-in scalers.

We have to merge more mac shit first.

JEEEEEEEEEEEEB

D3D12 when?

Help me out here please anons, I want to use mpv to watch 4k HDR vids, Madvr auto enables the HDR handshake for my tv on other media players I use, I'm not sure how to get mpv to do that kind of thing.
How do I get HDR mode on mpv?

How do I even open the terminal in mpv, using windows btw? It sounds a dumb question and I suppose it is, but all documentation just assumes you know how the terminal communicates with mpv and how the hell you open the thing... Do I do it in the folder you unzip?

What version is that m8?

Navigate to the folder mpv.exe is or make it an environment variable.

Attached: Clipboard01.png (1180x1381, 200K)

Sorry m8, I still have no clue how to do that.

mpv.net 2.9

WOW! Not sure how it's doing this but all my other media players where struggling to play 4k HDR content, really stressing my CPU as I'm trying to play a game while watching a film. Mpv normal lowered it to around 50% but this mpv.net version has reduced it to 5%, I thought maybe it was because it was using GPU rendering by default but no, process hacker says my GPU isn't even being used... Ah it is doing that CPUID monitor is showing it's using the GPU.
This is ideal, that's what I was trying to do and why I ended up in here bugging the locals.
Thanks!

Any one know how to increase the font in the UI in that GUI version of mpv? It's quite small at 4k resolution.

You're retarded or a .net shill. Performance would not vary between mpv and mpv.net when using the same settings.

Does it have a web interface and an app?

Good one.

I wanted to stick a game on earlier and watch some of the 4k HDR vids I downloaded to delete them for room etc
Used my potplayer/madvr setup and the games framerate was fluctuating, it's only a pixel game too (Crosscode)
Then tried my mpc-be and it was similar 70-90 percent on an i5-4690k, not a top end new CPU but quite powerful for these two tasks.
So I went from playing the game to trying to get my players using the GPU instead of CPU, TO no avail, I didn't have patience considering I just want to get on with the game etc.
Came in here because I wanted to ask about HDR functionality on mpv, went off to find how to enable GPU in the config file. I'm a total newbie to mpv but that isn't a crime.
I noticed the GUI images in here and thought that could save some time until I set about learning mpv properly which I've been meaning to do.
It defaults to GPU and took the load off my CPU which was fine and HDR seems fine.
I have no idea about the past memes in here and what you anons get up to.
